...MASSIMO CALABRESI has seen more than his share of brutality. As Central Europe bureau chief, he has spent much of the past year reporting on the vicious Bosnian war. But little in that conflict prepared him for the acts of human kindness he uncovered last week in the Sarajevo neighborhood of Grbavica. For the past three years a group of Serbs has hidden and protected a Muslim family from "ethnic cleansing" at the hands of fellow Serbs.

...decided that "dressing well is the best revenge," using high fashion to show they've still got their jobs and station in life. It's called "let your Ferragamos do the talking," says Isaac Lagnado.

SARAJEVO: "Sarajevo never had an ethnic majority, and today it is definetely dominated by one group, not only in terms of demographics but also politically," reports TIME's Massimo Calabresi from the city. After almost four years of war, the last of five Serb-held areas came under the control of the Muslim-Croat Federation Tuesday. Following days of looting, arson and reported rape by angry Serbs, 100 Federation police moved into the Serb suburb of Grbavica.
